Dalvin Tomlinson remembers connecting with one of the special teams coaches at Alabama when he was still in high school and was being recruited by the program.
“He used to always joke about me playing kickoff in college,” recalled Tomlinson, now entering his fourth NFL season as a defensive lineman with the Giants.
Tomlinson never got a chance to play for that coach . . . until now. It was Joe Judge, who left for his first NFL gig with the Patriots before Tomlinson enrolled in 2012.
